Hello. I'm new to NetBSD, and I have some questions that I hope other users
can answer. I tried the FAQ, but nothing there could help. I'm running
MacBSD on an SE/30 (32/365) and have been having trouble with the video.
Upon booting, it works fine for a while, but after I do something like open
a man page or use vi, it reverses on me and I get a screen that has a white
background, but the text is white on black. Only the text is white on
black, not the entire screen. Does anyone know how to fix this very
annoying problem?

That problem is my biggest right now, but I also have these two questions:

Does X work on the SE/30?

How do I install the NetBSD software that I downloaded to my Mac? I see in
the mini-shell on the installer that there are cpin and cpout commands, but
there aren't any man pages for them and I'd like to know how to use them.

That's enough for now. I'm sure I'll have other questions later as I begin
to use the OS more. Thanks in advance for your help.
